Venial Sin

A less serious matter
Does not observe moral law
Disobeys the moral law in a grave matter
Without full knowledge
Without complete consent
While he is in the flesh
Man cannot help
Have at least light sins
But do not despise these sins
Which is called “light”
When you take them for light
Weigh them
Tremble when you count them
What then is our hope?
Above all
Reconciliation
Penance
Confession
(CCC 1863)
